Marcus Tarantino is a 2016 1B/LHP with a 5-11 155 lb. frame from North Port, FL who attends Venice Senior HS. Medium frame, young body with remaining physical projection. Open stance at the plate with a deep crouch, long swing, quick hands, uppercuts. Drove a ball that registered at 87 mph off the bat in game action. Hands work well defensively, sound fundamental footwork at first base. Pitches from a high three quarters arm slot, clean mechanics, repeats well, flashed sharp break on 12-6 curveball. Very good student.
